Requested Information From Industry 

To help GSA assess the ability of 

nonprofit computer refurbishers or other 

industry partners to participate in the 

COVS Act program, please answer the 

following questions: 

General 

• If you are a nonprofit computer 

refurbisher, what is the name, mission, 

vision, location, and history of your 

nonprofit organization? How long have 

you been operating as a nonprofit 

computer refurbisher or industry 

partner? 

• What are your sources of funding 

and support? How do you ensure 

financial sustainability and 

accountability? 

• How many staff members and 

volunteers do you have? What are their 

roles and qualifications? How do you 

recruit, train, and retain them? 

Refurbishing 

• How many computers and 

technology equipment do you refurbish 

per year? What are the types, models, 

brands, and specifications of the 

equipment you refurbish? What are the 

standards and procedures you follow for 

refurbishing? 

• When do you consider computer or 

technology equipment obsolete or 

unrepairable? Is there any type of 

surplus computer or technology 

equipment that you will not accept? For 

example, computers without hard drives 

or equipment over a certain age. 

• Do you provide data sanitization 

services? Do you follow the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST Special Publication 800–88, Rev. 

1) guidelines? Do you provide evidence/ 

reports that sanitization was completed? 

Recycling 

• If computer or technology 

equipment cannot be repaired or reused, 

what do you do with the property? Are 

you a certified electronics recycler? If 

so, under which standard? If not, do you 

partner with certified electronics 

recyclers? 

• How many computers and 

technology equipment do you recycle 

per year? What are the types, models, 

brands, and specifications of the 

equipment you recycle? What are the 

standards and procedures you follow for 

recycling? 

Distribution 

• What process would you use to 

identify recipients eligible to receive 

surplus computer or technology 

equipment in accordance with 40 U.S.C. 

549a? How would you verify eligibility 

to prevent ineligible persons from 

obtaining equipment? How would you 

determine who receives the equipment 

to ensure fair and equitable 

distribution? 

• Would recipients be required to pay 

for the equipment? How would you 

determine the price or fee in compliance 

with 40 U.S.C. 549a(b)(3)(B)? 

• Is your organization able to 

segregate equipment received under the 

COVS Act from other sources to ensure 

this equipment is only provided to 

eligible recipients? 

• Federal agencies are generally 

unable to pay for shipping and 

transportation to refurbishers. Would 

you cover shipping costs? Would you be 

able to pick up computers and 

equipment from agency locations? 

• How would you distribute 

refurbished computers and technology 

equipment to recipients? What would be 

your distribution network and criteria? 

How would you ensure quality control 

and customer service? 

• How long (in days) would it take to 

refurbish computers (from the date the 

equipment is received) and provide 

them to eligible recipients? 

Training 

• Do you offer training programs on 

the use of the repaired computers and 

technology equipment? Is this training 

provided at no cost, or for a fee? If there 

is a charge for the classes, how is this 

fee determined? 

• Please describe the training 

programs, platforms (e.g., in person, 

virtual) and the target audiences. 

Reporting 

• Nonprofit computer refurbishers 

receiving surplus computer or 

technology equipment under the COVS 

Act are required to report information to 

GSA on a recurring basis. This includes 

information about the distribution of the 

equipment and which eligible recipients 

received the equipment. Would you be 

able to provide the required recipient 

data and reports to GSA? How soon 

could you provide reports about who 

received the equipment (taking into 

account the time to repair and transfer 

them)? Do you foresee any challenges in 

providing this data to GSA? 

Partnerships 

• Do you have any experience 

working with Federal agencies or 

receiving surplus computers and 

technology equipment from them? If so, 

please provide examples. 

• How do you envision 

nongovernmental entities partnering 

with GSA? Do you anticipate any 

challenges with GSA establishing 

partnerships with nongovernmental 

entities to facilitate the identification 

and participation of nonprofit computer 

refurbishers? 

• Are you aware of any nonprofit 

computer refurbisher groups, alliances, 

or associations? If yes, please list them. 

Are there other types of groups we need 

to be aware of in the industry? 

• Are you a member of a nonprofit 

computer refurbisher group, alliance, or 

association? If yes, which one? What are 

the eligibility and certification 

requirements to join? Are you required 

to pay any fees to participate? Why did 

you decide to join one or choose one 

particular group, alliance, or association 

over another? 

• If you’re not part of a group, 

alliance, or association, is there a reason 

you have not joined or are you opposed 

to joining one? 

Other 

• Please provide any additional 

comments or challenges you anticipate 

related to participating in the COVS Act 

program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition 

Program (DPRP)—Revision—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC’s Division of Diabetes 

Translation (DDT) established and 

administers the National Diabetes 

Prevention Recognition Program 

(DPRP), which recognizes organizations 

that deliver a diabetes prevention 

program according to evidence-based 

requirements set forth in the CDC’s 

Diabetes Prevention Recognition 

Program Standards and Operating 

Procedures (DPRP Standards). 

Additionally, the Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare 

Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) 

expansion of CDC’s National DPP was 

announced in early 2016, when the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS) determined that the Diabetes 

Prevention Program met the statutory 

criteria for inclusion in Medicare’s 

expanded list of health care services for 

beneficiaries (https://cmmi.my.site.com/ 

mdpp/). This was the first time a 

preventive service model from the CMS 

Innovation Center was expanded into 

Medicare. After extensive testing of this 

model in 17 sites across the US from 

2014–2016, CMS proposed the MDPP in 

Sections 1102 and 1871 of the Social 

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1302 and 

1395hh section 424.59), authorizing 

CDC-recognized organizations to 

prepare for enrollment as MDPP 

suppliers beginning in January 2018 in 

order to bill CMS for these services. 

Only organizations in good standing 

with the CDC DPRP are eligible as 

MDPP suppliers. CDC continues to work 

with CMS to support the MDPP. 

CDC requests an additional three 

years of OMB approval to continue 

collecting the information needed to 

administer the DPRP and provide 

information needed by CMS to support 

the MDPP benefit. Based on experience 

with the DPRP from 2011–2023, 

including data analysis and feedback 

from applicant organizations and 

internal and external partners, CDC 

plans to revise the DPRP Standards and 

the associated information collection. 

Key changes are a direct result of DPRP 

data analyses, recent literature reviews, 

and discussion with National DPP 

stakeholders, including those serving 

socially vulnerable populations. Key 

changes to the evaluation data 

collection instrument allow for the 

collection of participant zip codes (for 

aggregate reporting only, not to be 

reported per each individual 

participant); an OMB-recommended 6- 

point disability variable; a health 

equity-related social determinants of 

health (SDOH) variable set (to assess 

whether there was a social needs 

assessment conducted; key SDOH issues 

identified; and whether any action was 

taken); a Middle Eastern or North 

African write-in option within the 

current race/ethnicity variable; and two 

new options for the current payersource 

variable. 

Key changes to the application data 

collection instrument allow for: (1) a 

yes/no drop-down question asking if an 

organization’s zip code is in an area of 

high social vulnerability based on the 

Social Vulnerability Index, which 

would permit an in-person organization 

to be fast-tracked to preliminary 

recognition status to allow the 

organization to apply to CMS to become 

an MDPP supplier; (2) revisions to the 

Combination delivery mode to include 

an option for in-person delivery with a 

distance learning component; and (3) 

collection of a projected program startdate. 

During the period of this Revision, 

CDC estimates receipt of approximately 

200 DPRP application forms per year 

from new organizations. The estimated 

burden per one-time application 

response is one hour. In addition, CDC 

estimates receipt of semi-annual 

evaluation data submissions from the 

same 200 additional organizations per 

year, estimated at two hours per 

response. The total estimated average 

annualized evaluation burden to new 

respondents is 2,400 hours. This 

includes an estimate of the time needed 

to extract and compile the required data 

records and fields from an existing 

electronic database, review the data, and 

enter the data via the DPRP Data Portal. 

CDC also has 1,500 currently recognized 

organizations that will continue to 

submit semi-annual evaluation data. 

The estimated burden per response is 

modest, since the information requested 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 240 / Friday, December 15, 2023 / Notices 86903 

for DPRP recognition is routinely 

collected by most organizations that 

deliver the National DPP lifestyle 

change program for their own internal 

evaluation and possible insurance 

reimbursement purposes, including the 

MDPP benefit. Participation in the DPRP 

is voluntary, data are de-identified, no 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

is collected by CDC, and there are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time. CDC is requesting a three-year 

revised approval. The total estimated 

annual burden hours requested is 7,400.
